Winning doesn't always mean being first. Winning means you're doing better than you've ever done before.
There's a band called Pantera that I listen to, and then Metallica's 'And Justice for All'. If you listen to a little bit of that before you go on stage, you're pretty much set for the whole show.
I would say that nobody is going to work harder for your career than yourself — the one with the vision. No matter how many people you hire, nobody is going to get is as much as yourself does. So it's really important to be your own leader at all times and not hand it all off, otherwise the whole empire will fall apart.
Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way.
My psychiatrist told me I was crazy and I said I want a second opinion. He said okay, you're ugly too.
What people don't understand is joining a gang ain't bad, it's cool, it's fine. When you in the hood, joining a gang it's cool because all your friends are in the gang, all your family's in the gang. We're not just killing people every night, we're just hanging out, having a good time.
It's easy to get negative because you get beat down. You go through a few disappointments and it's easy to stay in that negative frame of mind. Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is a whole cliche, but your attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.

When someone hands you a flyer, it's like they're saying here you throw this away.

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not.
There's an art to asking questions. Briefings are valuable but normally communicate primarily what the subordinate leader wants you to know, and often the picture they provide is incomplete.
Never explain — your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.
I wake up some mornings and sit and have my coffee and look out at my beautiful garden, and I go, 'Remember how good this is. Because you can lose it'.
You have to create something from nothing.
You cannot have maternal health without reproductive health. And reproductive health includes contraception and family planning and access to legal, safe abortion.
I think what I love about the documentary process is that you bring yourself to the documentary. And hopefully that makes you ask good questions, and hopefully that makes you reveal a little bit about yourself as well.
One thing I wish I could tell my younger self: take photos of everyday life, not special occasions; later, that's what will be interesting to you.
